Case Mj-12: The True Story Behind the Government's UFO Conspiracies

By Kevin D. Randle

Kevin Randle, one of the most respected names in UFOlogy and one of the first to bring the Roswell case to the popular imagination, now turns his attention to another fascinating element of the UFO culture: the MJ-12 documents. Through painstaking and meticulous research, Randle has traced the history of akedovernment documents that ovedithout question the existence of UFOs. The granddaddy of them all was the infamous MJ-12 file which first surfaced in the mid 1980s. Included in these documents were the Eisenhower briefing paper, the Truman memo, the Aquarius telex, and the Cutler-Twining letter. These papers, at first believed to be authentic, suggested that there was a crash as well as a subsequent government cover-up. Thus began decades of investigation and innuendo. But proof now exists that the MJ-12 documents were an elaborate hoax. Or were they? Dr. Randle, an Air Force pilot, has uncovered the surviving documents and material surrounding them, and has built a solid base of information from witness testimony, physical evidence and, of course, the documents themselves - resulting in a surprising expose.

Customer Reviews

Case MJ-12 is a practical and logical analysis of the issue. A good read.

This is a very practical analysis of the MJ-12 issue without unwanted speculation and rumor that clouds many books. The authors attention to detail and his ability to disect actual protocol with regard to military and political practices is very well presented. I agree with his asessment of the MJ-12 case because of his dedication to logic and truth.

Take a dive in Ufology's dirtiest mudd puddle

The author concludes that the MJ-12 documents are fake... old news really. The only question is why this debate lasted for so many years? These documents should've been laid to rest a long time ago, Ufology has only LOST credibilty because of them. It's time to move on, and get out of the 1940s and 1950s. Seems like every UFO book today is about events from 50 years ago. Geez, where did the aliens go? I don't really care anymore, reading all these conflicting UFO books has turned me into a cynical nihilst. Obviously official "science" could care less... so why should I? And obviously religious people think UFOs are from Satan, so why should I care to get to the "truth" of the matter, everyone's mind is already made despite the "evidence". Truthfully, I didn't read the entire book, I read the last chapter titled "Conclusions", and I skimmed through several other areas, but all I needed to hear was at the end. On the bright side, this is a fine book if you're interested in the subject, or looking for a good sober analysis on MJ-12. Don't let my review hold you back from getting the book. Well, of course it ain't over yet, I hear Stanton Friedman is gonna sell his 16? page review on this book. Time to muddy the water, again... it's money thrown down a bottomless pit. We probably haven't heard the last on MJ-12.
